Not Flowering!!

[GetNice]

Blue Mystic Feminized Auto. Going on its 5th week. Will be 5 weeks on Thursday.

Has not shown pistils yet, although i see some small calyx' developing.

Short and bushy. about 8.5 inches high. Healthy.

3 CFL Bulbs. 2 6500k and one 2500K total of about 3500 lumens (maybe more)

Has anyone grown this? How long do most Auto's Take to start flowering, I see people saying week two from seed.

Don't wanna switch to 12/12 if it will hurt my yeild, but I may have too.

It happens. Just move on to the next one. I think you have a lack of light though. Autos do traditionally flower on age but I have seen if they are deprived of sufficient light they will mature a lot slower. Autos generally flower within the 21-35 day period mostly in the 20's though.

I've grown auto's before, you should have seen some signs by now. You'll have to force them to flower by altering the light schedule. Having said this, I've thrown non flowering auto's outside with regular plants and the auto's did start to flower 2 weeks sooner than the rest. This would indicate you may not have to cut all the way back to 12/12. Sadly there is no way to tell how much of a light change you will need so 12/12 may be the only way to know for sure.

I think I'll cut it to 16/8. I just set timer for 12/12. I have had it on 18/6. or should I blast it with 24 hours light?

I thought flowers weren't supposed to start until week 7 or so. I have a Barney's Blue Mammoth and a World of Seed Northern Light x Big Bud and they're just now starting to show signs of sex at week 7. https://www.rollitup.org/auto-flowering-strains/531344-autos-life-cycle.html, but I have heard that Nirvana's auto's were shit, which is why I went with WoH over them despite the price difference(same price, 2 more nirvana seeds).

i would give it another week atleastmy friend. i have to auto's going right now about four weeks old.ones a devil matic and ones a little cheese from barneys. The devils blowin the cheese a way by a mile atleast on bud timeing. so i would just be patient for another week atleast if you said it's starting to devolope before you do anything, just my opinion tho.

I am not familiar with 'Auto'-strains nor have I did research(obviously) as I'm just starting to learn about them via this section of the site. So, your saying that a plant that shows it's sex before flowering would be considered an "Auto-Strain"? My 1st plant displayed it's sex on it's 1st day of heading towards it's 8thWk. It is now heading towards it's 10Wk come time 2mrw. I'm going to have to look into this.

 

[Cloudz2600]

Plants(photoperiod and autos) usually show their sex when they are mature via preflowers. When plants are flowering they either create buds or pollen sacks. A plant is determined to be an autoflower when it flowers based on it's age and not the light schedule, nothing else.

Yeah I am giving her another week. what do you mean i said its developing? i see calyx's pushing put not popping hairs unless they are new growth behind new growth, but if it were new growth i am sure i would see leaves by now. i am running out of space. i only planned on 13" high and i am at near 9.5".

LST or SCROG(though it's probably too late for SCROG if you see bud production).

Dont see any bud production, but i do see calyx's. just no hairs or balls.

Very Very Interesting! Thanks 4starting me out with some knowledge of "Auto-Flowering" Cloudz

I think Im on schedule then reading auto's life cycle yet again. Vertical growth exploded last week and has come to a creep the passed couple of days. I kicked in some bloom ferts today. Hoping she starts producing buds and I can give Nirvana a good rep.

DAY 35

Here she is at day 35. Still no signs of sex. Bushy as fuck. I switched this bitch to 12/12 last night in the hopes whe will start budding soon.

 

[Cloudz2600]

Idk man I don't even see any alternating nodes on yours and it hasn't really branched out yet. Don't see any preflowers either, all of which are signs of maturity.

 

[GetNice]

theres some alternating nodes on the secondary branching. I can't beleive that at 5 weeks there anrent any hairs or alternating nodes, but auto's dont need that stuff, they should flower before then, i think. I am going to run with 12/12 and see what she does.
